Processplants Corporation Vs. Commissioner of C. Ex., Surat

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Mumbai

Decided on: Feb-15-2002

Reported in: (2002)(143)ELT371Tri(Mum.)bai

1. In this appeal question involved is about the imposition of penalty of Rs. 5000/- on the assessee. The assessee was manufacturing hoist, winches, cranes etc. It was opting for exemption under Notification 175/86. The charge against the appellant was that they had violated the provisions of the Acts and Rules 26 times as mentioned in the annexure to the show cause notice. The representative of the assessee pleads before us that the assessee being a small time manufacturer, who have paid their duty should be shown mercy in this case and does not dispute the violation. The show cause notice itemises 26 violations alleging misclassification of goods with an intent to wrongfully avail of the exemption contained in Notification 175/86. The clearance was spread over from April, 1989 to March, 1990. It is not possible to accept the contention that such wrong clearance on so many occasions spread out over a year was due to negligence of the appellant. One can understand mistakes can take pl...
